If there is no feared cause preventing the completion of Hajj, is it required?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If there is nothing [to fear] and he makes a condition, does the condition benefit him?
The Shaykh : If there is no cause for this issue, this is a good question. That is, if we say that it is not required except for one who fears that he will not complete his rites, then if he makes a condition while not fearing that, does the condition benefit him?
It appears that the condition does not benefit him, because he has done something that is not prescribed, for the condition is not prescribed except for the one who fears. And since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718b we say: this condition is not in accordance with the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so it is invalid and has no effect.
As for the opinion of those who say that it is prescribed absolutely, it appears that he benefits from it. Yes.
